I am currently on the hunt for investor friendly contractors as I grow my flipping business. I am located in southwest Michigan - Kalamazoo area but I am working in the greater Kalamazoo area. Please contact me if interested. 

@Eric M. That definitely piques my interest. Lets chat. 

Hi all! I am currently investing in southwest Michigan and also live in the area. I am looking for other like minded people to work with on flips, buy and holds, etc. I already have a great amount of experience but need the other half of the equation. Located in Kalamazoo, Portage, or even Grand Rapids. 

Please contact me if interested.

All great options! I will see what the UPS and virtual mailboxes are offering. Any suggestions on the virtual side? 

I am currently working out of my home. I am sending mailers, but would rather not list my personal residence or use a PO box. What services are offered to have a real address for mail and potentially mail forwarding. 

@Matt Devincenzo Good suggestions. I hadnt even considered the baluster idea but that makes sense. Thanks!

I am currently renovating an old Victorian home from the late 1800s into apartments. It has this beautiful handrail for the staircase, but there are a couple problems with it. First, it’s a little wobbly. More wobbly than I want for a rental unit. Second, the height of the railing is a little shorter than code allows, or I am comfortable with in a rental. Has anyone dealt with this before? Is there some sort of solution where I can keep the old railing in place and make it safer without breaking the bank? I have considered enclosing it with another railing to keep the look, raising it, or adding a top rail above it. I am open to any ideas. TIA

@Michael Smythe Great tip! It seems as if it varies in each state or even municipality. Thanks!

@Tim Baldwin Good to know. That gives me a starting point! Thank you. 

I am currently renovating an old house into a 3 plex. I need to add apartment letters or numbers to the address. Other than contacting USPS, is there something I need to do at the municiple level? The property is in a city in Michigan in case that matters.
